Chapter 078: I'll Pass, Just Like Before
Zeus...... What kind of character is it? Black Wukong asked in a deep voice.
"The supreme god of Greek mythology, the lord of Mount Olympus." "You can watch the movies, I remember I've seen quite a few movies about Greek mythology, and you can find them in the movie catalog, and I don't have time to introduce you to Greek mythology right now." β
"Can you really bear it, just let it go like that?"
"It's it that lets me go," Xia Mingwei said casually, "I told you that the mythological sequence is divided into four classes, and now I don't have the strength to fight Zeus at all." β
He looked up at the screen of the theater, on which was playing the film and television drama "Westworld", I have to say that Black Wukong's aesthetics are really single.
"I'm not talking about Zeus, I'm talking about Surtr." Black Goku sneered.
Xia Mingwei was silent, he pressed the back of his hand against his cheek, his eyes obscured by messy hair.
"Not only did you not kill him, but you also saved him at any cost, have you ever thought that if he really survived, then how would you have to face this person in the future?"
"I didn't think about it, I just didn't want him to die like that." Xia Mingwei paused, "Because I want to question him face to face about a lot of things, that's all." β
"Coward's excuse, you just can't make up your mind."
"Yes." Xia Mingwei's voice froze, "According to what you said, I should have rushed over and smashed him to death with a stick, with hatred in my heart?" β
"Or else?"
"If I could take a broken stick and knock on anything, then I wouldn't have to be so tired from living."
"So what's the point of what you're doing?" Black Wukong sarcastically, "It's ridiculous to take so many risks just to save your enemies." β
"Whatever you want," said Summerway, "I'm not in the mood to talk to you...... I just wanted to come in and sort my mind and be ready to deal with the principal's questions. β
"Your position is so unresolute that you could see it as an enemy before you were a myth carrier, but now you think you can understand it, so you can't do it." Black Wukong approached the iron fence and grabbed the iron chain and swayed, "And you will have a weakness, and you will naturally have a second weakness...... The boss is your first and that girl is the second, and they will make you lose your mind and make you indecisive. The most important thing is that you can't choose between your two identities, and that's the source of your pain. β
Xia Mingwei's pupils were scarlet for a moment, and green tendons rose on the back of his hand, "Shut your mouth." β
"If you want to be a sequencer, then you shouldn't be trying to understand your enemies, and that's what makes you soft-hearted." Black Goku said.
"But I'm not just a serializer, I'm a myth carrier." Xia Mingwei said.
"Yes, it is precisely because you are a mythical carrier that you can understand the pain of being on the verge of losing control, and you can understand the despair of eating each other among your kind, so you can't do anything to Surtr." Black Wukong said coldly, "You even forgave it? If you hadn't forgiven it, how would you have saved it? β
Xia Mingwei was silent for a moment, and said almost word for word: "I have never forgiven it, Surtr is Surtr, and the boss is the boss." β
"The words 'self-deception' are vividly reflected in you......" Black Wukong narrowed his scarlet eyes.
"So what the hell do you want me to do?" Xia Mingwei said in a deep voice, "You're right, I can't be a pure sequencer, because I'm an outlier, and I can understand the pain of myth carriers. β
"But you can't be a pure myth carrier either." "That's the most ridiculous part. β
"Why can't I do that?" Xia Mingwei held his forehead and asked with a long sigh of relief, the vow he made with the girl in the attic kept popping up in his mind.
"It's very simple, if you want to be simply a mythical carrier, but you can't accept a fact," Black Goku stared at him deeply, "You can't accept that you are a monster like the old man of Surtr, sooner or later, you will be like him, lose control in the rampage, and then innocent people will be mutilated by you, just like you were when you were a child." β
Xia Mingwei was silent for a moment, and said: "I really can't accept why I am such a monster, just because I am, I hate him, I am hating myself, I am hating that innocent girl, because all myth carriers will get out of control and are inevitable." β
"It's like a lion growing up in a pack of rabbits, and suddenly he finds that his kind has been eaten by lions, so he hates the lions." He said slowly, "In the end, I found out that I was also a lion, and it was disgusting to hate the lion." At the end of the day, his voice was a little hoarse.
Black Goku didn't speak, just looked at him with disdain.
"You're right," said Summerway, "I'm not a lion or a rabbit, and I'll probably be crushed into slag in this crevice." β
"No, you deserve it." Black Goku's red eyes shone in the darkness, "As long as you give up one of them, all your current pain will be wiped out." β
"Listen, I know you're annoyed by the way I look right now." Xia Mingwei whispered, "But you are a god, I am a human, we are different." β
"Then why don't you give me your body?" Black Wukong clutched the thousands of chains tightly, his face gloomy to the extreme, "I can solve all your troubles for you and make decisions that you can't make!" β
"I made a pact with her." Xia Mingwei got up and muttered, "I can't break the contract...... When pigs fly. β
"Agreed?" Black Goku grinned, "What's the point of that kind of agreement?!" It's ridiculous to huddle with monsters, and soon she'll be an eight-headed and eight-tailed snake, no different from Surtr! Do you think you would have had pity for her then? β
Before its words fell, Xia Mingwei's figure had disappeared into the fantasy theater, and Black Wukong's eyes were glowing with violentness, and it took a long time to dim.
"That's it, that's it," Black Goku sat back in the shadow of his cell, breathing deeply, "just a milky little hairy child......
December 26, Huanjing, Philosophy Club.
In the room full of philosophy books, there was the sound of stirring liquid with a spoon and the sound of dripping rain, and the blinds were opened and closed by the rain.
Anlens sat on the couch, sipping hot coffee and reading a book; Xia Mingwei took a shower, wiped his wet hair with a towel, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Anyway, isn't the injury on your hand healing?" Aarons put down the glass and looked at the back of Xia Mingwei's hand.
When Xia Mingwei heard this, he removed the bandage on the back of his hand, revealing a shallow scar: "It's almost." He put the bandages back on and the gloves to protect him from the cold.
He used the "Seventy-Two Changes" to change the appearance of the back of his hand, tampering with the black Goku's coat of arms into a scar that had not yet completely faded.
Anlens smiled and said, "To be honest, with your current status, I don't find it strange that there is a mythical sequence hidden under the bandage. β
Xia Mingwei was expressionless and changed the topic: "So, you knew before you acted?" β
"It wasn't until two hours before the operation began that we were able to fully confirm who the Flame Giant's body was," Aarence took a sip of his coffee, "uh...... Actually, I wanted to tell you, but I thought it was too late to tell you, and you might even run away. β
"Yes." Xia Mingwei paused, "You really hope that I will watch the flame giant die with my own eyes?" β
"Rather, this is the headmaster's request, he doesn't want you to see you break down and even run away from this just because you know the true identity of the flame giant."
Xia Mingwei finished wiping his hair and hung the towel on the shelf: "That disappointed you, I really can't carry it......"
"It's quite normal," said Aarence slowly, "the only relative in a few years, and the enemy who ruined his life, who can overlap these two identities without feeling in a trance, so I don't think it's surprising that when he is eaten by Zeus at the end, you will lose your mind." β
Shamingway didn't respond, he casually pulled out an introductory philosophy book from the bookshelf and sat down on the sofa, in fact he was not interested in philosophy, but there were no other books here.
"Speaking of which," asked Anlens again, "don't you know the true identity of the Flame Giant until you see it transform back into a human body?" β
"Yes," Xia Mingwei exhaled softly, "to be honest, I feel like the whole world is about to collapse, and I can't associate them in the slightest. β
"Even if you live under the same roof as a mythical carrier for four years, you have to be aware that a mythical carrier is a mythical carrier, and it is our enemy."
"I know."
"Don't try to sympathize with the enemy, that's the greatest cruelty to yourself."
"There's no need to repeat it a second time, I know it very well."
"That's good." Anlens breathed a sigh of relief, "No matter what, the school will interrogate you strictly next, it's inevitable, you should be mentally prepared." β
"Okay." Xia Mingwei said.
The two of them read the book silently for a while, and the sound of rain outside the window gradually became smaller, and the mist covered by the window spread layer by layer.
Anlens glanced down at his phone, and suddenly said, "The headmaster has used the ability of the retrograde realm to restore the buildings in the old Jingmai neighborhood, and now there is peace over there." He paused, "And then we'll be flying back to London in three hours, do you need to go back now?" β
"Nope." Xia Mingwei applied a band-aid to the wound on his cheek, which he had simply treated with complexed iodine disinfectant.
If it was an ordinary wound, the powerful regenerative power brought by the Black Goku sequence would have healed a long time ago, but it was a wound drawn by Zeus's thunder and lightning, and it still has no tendency to recover, as if it was suppressing his regenerative power.
This should be the lightning characteristic controlled by Zeus, which can suppress the regenerative power of the damaged target, or something. Shamingway thought.
But after about two hours, the inhibition effect was completely gone, and he could feel the wound on his face healing at a high speed, slightly itchy.
Zeus's lightning can temporarily suppress the regenerative power of living beings, but it won't last more than three hours? Xia Mingwei came to the general conclusion in his mind that in the battle with it, both the recovery ability of the sequencer and the regenerative power of the mythical carrier should be equivalent to nothing.
No matter what, he has enough self-confidence, as long as he gradually improves the "Black Wukong" sequence and the "Visionary" sequence, it will not be difficult to defeat Zeus.
It's just a matter of time.
By 12 noon on this day, the principal had completely completed the aftermath of the old Jingmai neighborhood, so the police released the residents of the old Jingmai neighborhood.
"I'll talk about it when I get back to the school.,Then you come to the principal's office to see me.γ Suad's first words to Shamingway after he entered the club.
"Okay." Xia Mingwei put down the book and nodded at him.
Two hours later, they boarded a plane at Huanjing International Airport and returned to the Olibel Academy, where time flew by and the thirteen-hour flight ended quickly.
Suad stepped off the plane first, and after Ann Lens and Shamingway left the airport, they strolled through the drizzling London, the Gothic clock tower and the red brick houses were in a trance in the drizzling rain, and the pedestrians on the street rarely held umbrellas, most of them relied on coats and coats to shelter from the rain, and the potholes of the water reflected their comfortable figures.
"There is a lot of light rain in London, so there are a lot of Londoners who don't have umbrellas in this weather." Anlens looked away, "By the way, did you exchange your credits for rewards?" β
"I haven't redeemed it yet.,The review of the school mission has just ended.γ Xia Mingwei said nonchalantly.
"The credits should have arrived." Anlens smiled, "You use the mobile phone app to see." β
When Xia Mingwei heard this, he opened the mobile phone APP "Olibel School Forum".
There's a link to the school's official website.,There's a list of items that can be redeemed for credits on the official website.,In addition to the most cost-effective sequence of original stones,It even contains the magical weapon created by the "blacksmith" sequence.γThe enhanced serum made by the "pharmacist" sequence.γAnd the "hacker" and "programmer" sequence jointly created a completely submersible game helmet and other items.,It's inevitable to feel dazzled at a glance.γ
He had six credits on hand.
Normally, the credits given for a school mission are around five points, and those with good performance get more credits, and those with poor performance get fewer credits, and most students are at the level of three credits, perhaps because Xia Mingwei's performance in the task is beyond the standard, so he got six credits.
"Let's take a look back when we go back to the school." Xia Mingwei was not interested, and put away his phone after a shallow glance. The tiny rain slapped against his cheeks, a little cold.
The two of them slowly walked to the abandoned station in west London, tapped the pillar three times with the dark gold key, and the world suddenly changed, and a brightly lit car appeared in front of them.
Shortly after Xia Mingwei boarded the train, a young female flight attendant with blond hair and blue eyes walked up to him, holding stacked delivery boxes in her arms, almost covering her face.
"Xia Mingwei, the table address of the school park received a copy of your courier, and we will usually hand over the courier received outside to the student on the train." The flight attendant said.
Xia Mingwei was stunned for a moment: "My courier? β
"Wait a minute, please let me look for it, you know, there are too many." The flight attendant smiled, her eyes moving up and down, scanning the label on the delivery box.
"No need," Xia Mingwei stretched out his right hand, paused slightly in the air, and took out a blue-and-white box, "It should be this." β
He flipped over the box, and there was a slip on the back with two scribbled words written on the sender: Boss.
"Yes, yes, that's it." The flight attendant winked at him, hugged the pile of couriers and left, "If you have any needs, remember to call us, classmate Xia Mingwei~"
"You're so popular." Alens swept past him and walked to the next bar car, the smell of booze coming from inside.
"Just take a courier."
Xia Mingwei sat in the nearest box, the train slowly moved forward in the roar of the engine, and the London outside the window flew by in the hazy twilight, as if seeing flowers in the fog.
He slowly unwrapped the ribbon of the box, which contained a letter and a framed picture containing a yellowed photograph.
Mr. Chamingway glanced at the photo, which had been taken five years ago, and the background of the photo was a lawn at sunset, and he was standing side by side with his boss in a hospital gown. The boss's broad right hand was on his shoulder, with a gentle smile on his face. His hair was still very black then, not as gray as it is now.
Twelve-year-old Xia Mingwei, his cheeks are still very thin, his body is weak, and although his face is cold, he can see a shallow smile in his eyes.
After a few moments, Xia Mingwei put down the picture frame on the pale yellow table, then opened the light blue envelope and took out a brown-yellow letter paper from inside.
Boss:
When you read this letter, it should be almost the twenty-seventh, and I estimate that this letter will be sent to you at about this time.
Happy eighteenth birthday, Mingwei.
For the first time in six years, I've not been with you on your birthday, so how are you eating in London? Next time, tell me in advance, don't be so sudden.
Take care of your health.
Also, don't fight people at school, I'm too old to fly to London to help you out. But if you need it, I'll definitely go over, just like before.
Xia Mingwei put down the letter, stuffed it into the blue and white envelope, and put it back in the gift box along with the frame.
He was silent for a long time, then slowly turned his head to look at London at sunset. With a deafening roar, the train pulled into the tunnel, and everything was wrapped in darkness.
